Answer 1

Change this

 convertto.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener()
   {

    @Override
    public void onItemClick(AdapterView arg, View v1, int index1, long arg4)
    {
         if ((quantity[index1]=="Meter") && (s1.equalsIgnoreCase("Meter")))
        {

        Toast.makeText(v1.getContext(), " to meter",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
        var2=var1;
        lresult.setText("" + var2);
        }

    }

   });

to onItemSelectedListener,

 convertto.setOnItemSelectedListener(new OnItemSelectedListener() {

    public void onItemSelected(AdapterView arg0, View arg1, int arg2,
            long arg3) {
         if ((quantity[index1]=="Meter") && (s1.equalsIgnoreCase("Meter")))
        {

        Toast.makeText(v1.getContext(), " to meter",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
        var2=var1;
        lresult.setText("" + var2);
        }


    }

    public void onNothingSelected(AdapterView arg0) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub

    }
});

It looks like you cannot use itemClickListener in your Spinner,

Here is the error line which explains it,

07-04 09:48:39.912: E/AndroidRuntime(694): Caused by: java.lang.RuntimeException: setOnItemClickListener cannot be used with a spinner.
